The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is drawing national attention as candidates Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford campaign aggressively ahead of a key debate.
The election, set for April 1, will determine the ideological balance of the court, influencing major issues like abortion and workers' rights. Millions of dollars are pouring into the race from high-profile donors on both sides, turning it into a battle of billionaire-backed interests. Attack ads have intensified, with both candidates accusing each other of being beholden to wealthy benefactors.
The race is expected to be one of the most expensive and contentious judicial elections in Wisconsin’s history.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
It’s ridiculous that our courts are basically being auctioned off to the highest bidder. Conservatives know they can’t win on fair maps or popular policies, so they’re relying on dark money to keep control. We need to elect judges like Susan Crawford who will protect abortion rights and stand up for workers instead of corporate interests.
Yet another example of how our so-called ‘justice system’ is just a playground for big money and political power—judges should be defending individual liberty, not pandering to donors.
